in june of 2010, the obama administration sued arizona. the state was trying to help enforce federal immigration law and they sued the state of arizona, and they used any other state that attempted to do anything that would enhance law enforcement. in january of 2010, the obama administration ignored the dangerous sanctuary cities policy. we have amazingly in this country cities that are providing sanctuary to people illegally in the country. they arrest someone who is illegally here, they convict them of a crime. under law enforcement -- i was a federal prosecutor for many years -- they would hold them and turn them over to the federal law enforcement officers for deportation. but these cities stopped refuseing to do that. nothing was done about that and this administration took no action. they actually seemed to encourage it, frankly. director morton of the i.c.e. offices directed an amnesty memo number one that weaken their enforcement and deportation procedures. he issued a second interesting memo in july of 2011. in december of 2011,

and finally it was signed into law by president obama in 2009. in 2009. it took all that time, but john kept on pushing. i could keep a lot of examples, his devotion to universal coverage of healthcare, the civil rights, the responsible gun safety legislation. john was a cosponsor of the brady bill for the background checks, 2 million have been denied guns because simple background checks. as bad as the current state is coming would be far worse if that village never passed, and we should honor john conyers by making those checks universal now. [applause] he cosponsored the family and medical leave law. by the time i i left office, 3y people had claimed when the baby was born or a hair was sick. it's not gotten so important to people and so may people in the workplace that last year alone, 20 million people took advantage of the family and medical leave act. why do i say this? because people think policy is boring until they need it.

we don't have a clue what president obama spent. these numbers will be meaningless other than the fact that they will be used on some kind of campaign. we should use the department of defense accounting system to provide gotcha points in the campaign. we are way off the market off the mark in this and i understand the angst and anger and wanting to retrace the last election. there's another election coming and it will be an appropriate time for anyone to complain about how often the president went wherever he goes and however he did it whoever he invited their. all those kinds of things are legitimate campaign issues but that's not what we are doing tonight. i would argue we are going to defeat both of these and i would encourage all of our members to say no to both of these and move on in providing the department of defense with the requisite resources to be able to defend this country protect the men and women on our behalf, take care of them when they get hurt all the meaningful things we ought to be doing tonight and get away fr
